Dawson Denim
Made in Japan Collection
We’re delighted to introduce Dawson Denim’s new Made in Japan Collection—a carefully crafted range of selvedge denim jeans, jackets, and chambray shirts.
Founded in 2012 as a small-batch, in-house operation here in the UK, Dawson have now partnered with leading mills and makers in Okayama, Japan, to bring their design vision to life. Together, they’ve created a tightly curated selection of vintage-inflected yet contemporary staples.

Lot 41 Type II Jacket
14.25oz, Indigo, 3-Year Wash
This Type II stays true to its traditionally cropped, boxy fit but extends the body slightly for a modern touch. Waist adjusters allow you to fine-tune the fit, while classic details like front pleats remain intact. Impeccable sewing work can be found throughout.
The 3-year wash replicates the authentic fading of a well-worn jacket. It also softens the denim, giving it the look and feel of a long-time favourite.

Lot 41 Selvedge Denim Jeans
14.25oz, 3 Fits, 3 Indigos
Dawson Denim’s Lot 41 denim is woven in Okayama using organic cotton and century-old Toyoda shuttle looms. Weighing in at 14.25oz, it’s an ode to ‘50s-era selvedge -substantial in hand yet destined to break in with the perfect balance of structure and drape.
Dawson Denim’s Lot 41 selvedge comes in three fits: Wide, Standard, and Slim.

The Wide Fit has undergone a special three-year wash that replicates the natural ageing of a well-worn pair of Dawsons.

The Standard Fit is raw but sanforized, removing shrinkage and allowing you to start the fading process from scratch.

The Slim Fit comes in a one-wash, softening the denim and revealing a subtle fuzz.

The Sports Shirt delivers mid-century cool in a 7oz Japanese selvedge chambray. It’s got an open collar with a top button loop, twin chest flap pockets, and fish-eye buttons throughout. A straight hem stays true to the shirt’s vintage origins, while pleats at the rear yoke enhance manoeuvrability.
